Soulstation1 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 mavs funked up last night. lets go nuggs! Quote
jack Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Luck! The Kings barely came away with the win last night. Christie had 15 rebounds supposedly trying to prove to Dallas that he is not a wimp. If the Kings can make it past Dallas, the road gets tougher ahead. Most of the Kings are playing semi injured. Quote
Noj Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Carmelo Anthony just went down in a heap real awkward-like on a rebound as his legs were entangled with Marcus Camby's. All of Denver is shitting themselves waiting for a report on this injury. He walked off on his own power, but this really hurts the McNugget's chances... Quote
Noj Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 Well, he's young and rubbery. They threw a knee brace on it and Melo's back in the game. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 28, 2004 Author Report Posted April 28, 2004 BTW, what total crap that Artest was picked as Defensive Player of the Year. Ben Wallace beat him in rebounds per game and blocks per game. Isn't that what defense is? I love this quote from ESPN: "Artest recently was the runaway choice for the defensive player of the year. He finished third in the league in steals (2.08 per game) and held the players he guarded to 8.1 points a game." What the fuck?!? Popovich is right... that's a bullshit stat. There is no way to substantiate that. Lame. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 who'd win this series? grizz vs rockets i'd say the rockets. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 the lakers look good so far shaq n kobe are playing well ss1 Quote
SEK Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 BTW, what total crap that Artest was picked as Defensive Player of the Year. Ben Wallace beat him in rebounds per game and blocks per game. Isn't that what defense is? Ben Wallace is still the greatest in my book. Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Doc Rivers picked to coach the Celts... Doc Quote

Go Pistons! Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 The real (?) finals should start on Sunday, between the Lakers and the Spurs. Completely different styles of basketball, but are there any better teams in the NBA than these two? If the winner of this series doesn't win the whole enchilada, I'll be very shocked!! Quote

There is no way to substantiate that. Lame. Personally I think the award was great, being from Indiana and seeing Ron play frequently, I know what he does for the team with his defense (and no, I don't think rebound and blocks are all there is to defense!). That said, I think our society will give away an award for anything. I also think no matter who you give it to, someone is always going to be pissed. B3er, I don't think Pop would be any happier if they gave it to Wallace. I'm sure if it went to someone else, I'd be bitchin' too (but I'm happy for now)! I'm still pissed Rick Carlisle didn't get the manager of the year award!!! Mark Quote
chuckyd4 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 The real (?) finals should start on Sunday, between the Lakers and the Spurs. Completely different styles of basketball, but are there any better teams in the NBA than these two? Although I agree that the winner of this series will probably go on to win the whole thing (though that's not who I picked in my fantasy league ), I have a hard time agreeing that the Lakers are one of the two best teams in the league right now. They were lucky, IMO, to get out of that Rockets series 4-1, with two critical games being a matter of a turnover here or a missed bucket there. The Rockets are far from a great team, and it seemed to me that the Lakers were having a very difficult time putting them away. By contrast, look at San Antonio - when faced with a very scrappy, full of heart Memphis team (certainly in the same league as Houston), they dispatched them handily with a resounding sweep. And I definitely think that Indiana, with their incredible depth, are a better team than the Lakers right now. Quote
sheldonm Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) And I definitely think that Indiana, with their incredible depth, are a better team than the Lakers right now. You better watch out, a statement like that may bring on something bigger than 10.5 (but I agree with your statement!!!!) Edited April 29, 2004 by sheldonm Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 let's go mavs........ IF, it winds up spurs and queens, i'll F*#IN' cry ...... they act like kobe is now superhuman, he can do it all. his daughter is really cute i hope the judge ain't got any $$$$$ on the spurs ss1 Quote
Noj Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 The Mavs are horrible to watch, and will never win anything. They are miserable defenders, and blew a 14 point lead in about a minute thirty seconds. 'Melo's doubtful for the next Nugget game, that sucks. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 mark cuban is startin' to bug me.... adios mark ss1 Quote
jamn Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 (edited) Pistons win series. Darko plays. :bwallace: Edited April 30, 2004 by jamn Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 No one can seriously tell me that anyone is a better defender than Ben Wallace. Artest is a good defender... but Wallace should've won the award. Did you know that he reached 1000 rebounds, 100 blocks, and 100 steals for the fourth year in a row? That's an NBA record, beating out Karim Abdul Jabar who held the record at three years in a row. Ben Wallace is defense. Quote
